I keep mixing up the steps, but I think instituting change is definitely not the first one. It feels like it should come after creating urgency.

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like generating short-term wins was emphasized, but that seems more like a later step.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about building a guiding coalition being really important too. Maybe that comes later?

I think the first step is to create a sense of urgency, right? It’s about getting everyone on board with the need for change.
